In her past life, Su LiLuo sacrificed everything for Prince Chu’s grand ambitions. She agreed to a proxy marriage with the crippled Crown Prince, disregarding her reputation and using her charm t...
Among them was a familiar face.
Yilan.
Yi Lan had changed into an elegant outfit and tied her hair up, looking quite different from before.
Su Liluo pretended not to recognize her, not even glancing at her, and instead looked around the cave with feigned surprise.
The cave was spacious, like a hidden paradise, and filled with all kinds of rare gold and jade artifacts, antiques and calligraphy and paintings, some of which were works that had been lost to the public.
Looking down at the ground again, I was surprised to find that some places were actually paved with gold bricks.
Su Liluo's eyes suddenly lit up!
Xinglan seems to be really rich, they actually used gold to pave the ground!
At this moment, she was thinking that if she could pry off the gold brick and put it into her spatial storage when she left, that would be great.
This time, she really intended to empty Xinglan completely.
"Yes, Master brought back a friend this time. She is the daughter of your Uncle Lanxing, Biyue and Zhaoxin. Take them downstairs and settle them in first."
Zi Xing solemnly gave instructions to his disciples.
Then, he turned to Su Liluo with a smile and said, "You should go and rest for a day. Tomorrow, I will take you to pay respects to your mother's master. We can bury your mother's belongings there as well."
"Yes, thank you, Aunt Xing."
Su Liluo nodded with a smile.
Then, the two women who had been called out led Su Liluo and the others away.
They also stayed in two stone caves, one for Su Liluo and Chu Yan, and one for Gao Yuanbin alone.
The cave was decorated with unparalleled luxury. All the utensils inside were made of silver, and even the murals carved on the walls were made of silver.
"Luo'er, this place is too luxurious! There are gold bricks paving the outside, and the guest room we're staying in is covered in silver!"
Even if silver isn't as valuable as gold, all that silver together is still a fortune!
Chu Yan reached out and touched the silver-carved mural on the wall, marveling at it.
Even though the Chu family was considered a prominent and wealthy family in the capital, and she had lived a life of luxury since childhood, she was still truly shocked by the opulence of Xinglan when she saw it.
"This place is indeed incredibly wealthy, but I wonder where their warehouse is!"
Su Lilu murmured a similar phrase.
"The warehouse? What are you eyeing for someone else's warehouse?"
Chu Yan asked a question without a care in the world.
"I'm just curious, their warehouse must be even more dazzling than this, I'd like to see it."
Su Lilu smiled but didn't tell Chu Yan her true thoughts.
After all, she always thought Chu Yan was a well-behaved girl. If she knew that Chu Yan was planning to empty someone else's warehouse, she would be terrified.

The next day.
Early in the morning, after Su Liluo and the others had a lavish breakfast with Zixing, Zixing led them out of the cave to another lush, grassy canyon.
"This is the burial place of your mother, master, and me. Luo'er, go and kowtow on behalf of your mother!"
In a flower-filled area of the canyon, there are several clean and dignified tombstones, as well as mounds made of stones covered with silver.
Su Liluo counted them and there were about five, which means that Xinglan had gone through five sect leaders in succession.
She didn't know much about her mother's master, but considering that he was her mother's master after all, she still sincerely went up and knelt down to pay her respects on behalf of her mother.
"Aunt Xing, where did I put my mother's belongings?"
After Su Liluo finished her prayers, she turned around and looked at Zixing with an innocent expression.
Zi Xing suppressed her excitement and pointed to the pit that had already been dug next to her.
"Just leave it there. This can be considered a cenotaph for my junior sister in Xinglan. If she knew that she could return to her hometown in the end, she would be at peace."
Su Liluo glanced at the pit that had been dug long ago, then turned around and curled her lips in a mocking smile.
Then, she took some random things out of her bundle and put them into the pit.
After Zi Xing saw her put the things down and walk down from the grave, her expression began to change inch by inch.
Especially the excitement on her face, which she made no attempt to hide in an instant.
"Hahaha!"
I'm back!
We finally got it back!
Zi Xing couldn't help but burst into laughter.
She had waited so many years, and she was finally going to get that legendary sect treasure space!
"Aunt Xing, you---"
Just as Su Liluo was about to ask her what she was laughing about, she was suddenly interrupted by Zixing's stern voice.
"Men, seize them! Leave no survivors!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the dozen or so women behind Zi Xing took out the thin swords they had hidden at their waists and stabbed at Su Liluo and the others.
"Aunt Xing, what do you mean by this? Why are you doing this?"
Su Liluo continued to act, trying to get some information out of Zixing.
"Why? You idiot, do you really think I'm good friends with that bitch of your mother? That white lotus has been stealing my things from me since we were kids!"
Everything I set my sights on ended up with her. It would be crazy if I could be friends with her! Luckily, she's naive and got completely fooled by a man.
She broke with her master for the sake of a man, which ultimately allowed me to benefit. It's just a pity that her master was still biased in the end; although he gave me the position of sect leader, he gave her the most precious treasure!
You idiot, don't you even know what treasure you just buried? Hahaha, you've had this treasure for so long and you still don't know how to use it, you're such a waste!
Zi Xing was very pleased with herself. Watching her disciples besiege Su Li Luo, she poured out all the pent-up frustrations she had accumulated over the years.
In her view, Lanxing was dead, her daughter was dead, and everyone in the world she hated was dead.
It's fine to tell them.
Su Liluo was slightly shocked after hearing Zixing's words.
Although I had long expected that Zi Xing had a deep grudge against my mother, I never expected that it was all because of Zi Xing's jealousy!
That's right!
Listening to Zi Xing's words, she could completely sense that back then, Zi Xing must have been jealous of her mother while pretending to be affectionate with her.
Her mother's death was also inextricably linked to her.
Now that the outcome was completely certain, her eyes hardened, and she wanted to kill her.
Meanwhile, Gao Yuanbin, who was standing nearby, heard Zi Xing's words and shared the same thought as Su Liluo.
Although he knew less than Su Liluo and was unaware that Zixing was behind his mother's death during childbirth in Daliang, he still felt a surge of knowledge upon hearing her insults towards his mother and her murderous intent towards them.
He, of course, wanted her dead too!
At the same time, all the top-level bodyguards that Xiao Ye had sent to secretly protect Su Liluo also came out at this moment.
"Who are they? How dare strangers trespass into my Xinglan?"
Zi Xing narrowed her eyes dangerously when she saw the several experts who had suddenly appeared.
